What will you learn?

Do you want to incorporate a skill that is increasingly in demand in the healthcare field? In this course, you will learn to use clinical ultrasound as a support tool to improve patient assessment and nursing decision-making. You will learn how the ultrasound machine works, identify the main anatomical structures, practice the acquisition and basic interpretation of ultrasound images, and be introduced to the application of POCUS and ultrasound-guided procedures, such as vascular access. All this with a highly practical methodology that will allow you to start integrating this skill into your professional activity from day one.
